For any new kids on the block, here's the guidelines to keep the Melbourne Zombie Shuffle a safe and successful event.
1. NO DICKHEADS. We might all be undead, but we also pride ourselves on running an event that is enjoyable for all. Violence, destruction of property, and general toolishness will NOT be tolerated. If you are going to stage a 'zombie attack', make sure you've cleared it with your "victim" beforehand.
1.a. NO VIOLENCE/REALISTIC WEAPONS. Yes, this may seem like an odd request given the nature of the event, but keep realistic weapons, water pistols, water bombs etc to a minimum - in fact, we'd prefer it if you didn't bring them at all. The Melbourne Zombie Shuffle operates with the cooperation of Victoria Police, so we don't want that thrown into jeopardy by the actions of a few nongs who think they're in an Eli Roth film, thanks.
2. RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE AND OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY. Keep your blood and guts to yourself (or other consenting zombies). No splattering passersby, no glooping people's shops, shopfronts or stock, no scaring children, old people or animals. This is of utmost importance.
3. OBEY THE ROAD RULES. We don't want you to get killed again; keep the horde to the sidewalks, cross on the green man, don't block traffic, etc. If the Police or Zombie Wardens tell you to stop doing something, THEN STOP DOING IT.
4. HAVE FUN! This is the most important rule of all - get into it! Don't stand around worrying if your blood looks real enough, or feeling awkward - embrace your inner undead! Have you ever seen a zombie walk or strut?
5. NO DICKHEADS. Just wanted to make sure you were paying attention.
